Themes
Make Octarine look the way you want
Octarine comes with a collection of carefully crafted themes to suit different preferences and working environments. Whether you prefer a dark interface for late-night writing or a bright, airy look for daytime work, there's something here for you.
Switching Themes
You can change your theme from Settings → Preferences → Theme, or use the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + K) and search for the theme name directly.
Octarine lets you set different themes for light and dark mode. So if your system switches between modes throughout the day, Octarine will follow along with the appropriate theme for each.
